Legislation raising the minimum age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21 has been signed into law.  Sen. Greg McCortney, R-Ada, is principal author of Senate Bill 1423.

Oklahoma’s statutes align with the federal Tobacco-Free Youth Act, which was signed by President Donald Trump last December. That law prohibited the sale of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars and other tobacco products to anyone under the age of 21.
